21、Humor is important for both kids and adults. The ability to see the humor in an upsetting situation is a valuable skill. So, what should parents do to develop their kids’ sense of humor?【1】
Start the laughter early.
The big smiles that come after parents play jokes with babies are helping the children grow and learn. Teach kids the importance of connections. That’s because being able to understand the funny parts of jokes actually requires children to make connections. 【2】
Help them see the funny in a difficult situation.
【3】 But it’s a useful skill. We are faced with changes on a daily basis. When you can laugh about unexpected challenges, you know you can face those challenges and even find solutions. Are children stressed while studying? Help them make up a joke or funny poem to remember the material.
Keep their screen time to a minimum (最低限度).
Watching social media videos may feel like an easy way to share a funny moment, but it isn’t the best way for children. 【4】 It helps children become creators in humor, not simply receivers of it.
【5】
If kids cross a line when trying out a joke, remind them that a joke isn’t funny if it causes pain to others. When the impact of humor is hurtful, the humor is not suitable. With parents’ help, children can learn to tell the difference between harmful humor and truly funny stuff.
A.These tips can help.
B.Teach them when to tell jokes.
C.Parents can help kids figure those out.
D.Show them where the dividing lines are.
E.Families should do something funny together.
F.Outdoor activities are good choices for families.
G.When hard times happen, finding a reason to laugh can be hard.
22、When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night, he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal. But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife, Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic(巨大而突然的) turn.
The young man demanded Diaz’s wallet, and Diaz passed it over without objection(异议). But just as he turned to walk away, Diaz called, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something.”
The young man turned around, surprised.
“If you’re going to rob people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep warm.”
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief, and asked why he would do such a thing. Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, I guess you must really need the money.”He said he was heading out for dinner, and that he would be happy to take someone with him.
The young man decided to take Diaz up on his offer. As they were sitting at the table, the manager, dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz, and the young man was amazed at his popularity.
“Haven’t you been taught that you should be nice to everybody?”Diaz asked him.
“Yeah, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teenager replied. Thanks to Diaz, he was beginning to see that kindness wasn’t so strange, after all.
When the bill came, Diaz told the teen that he’d have to get the check. After all, he still had Diaz’s wallet.
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment’s thought, and Diaz treated him to dinner. Diaz also gave the would-be robber a $20 bill — in exchange for his knife. “I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right,” Diaz said.

24、Far out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood an improbably high diving board—a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower. It was, I’m sure, the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.
So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.
Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr Milton swam out to the platform.He was just a tiny, stick figure when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. He was going to do it.
Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch. Mr Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes.The crowd fell silent.The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far,far below.
But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream.When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide,apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.
It didn’t.
He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away.I don’t think he entered the water at all.He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf.
He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon.Occasionally he accepted small sips of water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head to toe, he was covered with deep red bruises.
...It was the best day of my life.
